Awesome set up!!
Hey how often to clean up/water change? Are there skimmers you can use for a tank that small.
Finally what kind of light do you use? I mean you have some nice corals therefor a strong light is needed, but doesn't that overheat your tank?
Sorry about all the questions.
Thanks.
I've been really lazy about cleaning up the filter lately actually, and haven't gotten around to it in 2 months or so. The filter is a modified skilter so it's sort of got an integral skimmer. I described how it's been modified in the other nano thread. The tank gets a 1g water change ever week.
The light is a single 32w 50/50 pc lamp on about a 10hr cycle. Heat isn't much of an issue. If they kept the AC on in the building afterhours and on the weekends I'd have almost no temp swings. During the week Mon-Fri when the AC is run during the day I lose about 3/4 of a gallon to evap. I lose almost the same amount over a 3 day weekend when it's hot because they turn the AC off. I'm going to have to get a fan to see if that will help a bit during the weekends.
But so far nothing seems to be adversly affected. And it's been nearly a year so far.
